About Us

Our story

Twitter is a fantastic platform for browsing when you have some free time, but for business users, sifting through tweets to find the ones that really matter can be both time-consuming and costly. What if you wanted to monitor a specific keyword, hashtag, or simply find out who’s talking about your brand on Twitter right now?

Twilert was created to fulfill this need by offering a simple and effective tool that agencies and brands can use to filter out the important tweets from the noise.

Who we are

What sets Twilert apart from other monitoring tools is its user-friendly design, allowing you to set up keyword alerts within minutes.

With four different plans available, Twilert makes it easy to choose a solution that fits your business needs, whether you’re monitoring specific keywords, keeping an eye on competitors, or generating new leads.

What we believe in

We believe that Twitter should always deliver value for your business, and we are committed to helping users maximize this potential. Our mission is to educate users on how to effectively use Twilert and Twitter Search to achieve their goals.

Our support pages and blogs are packed with tips and advice to help you manage your online reputation effectively.

Twilert Twitter Monitoring Origins

Twilert was first developed around 2008. Initially created for a client, the project was later brought in-house after the client chose not to proceed. The team then transformed it into a full-fledged commercial product. Twilert is described as a subscription-based Twitter monitoring tool that helps businesses track mentions, hashtags, and manage their online reputation. It offers near real-time results, an archiving feature, and the ability to filter results by location by drawing an area on a map.

The Present Status of Twitter Alerts

Currently, we are focused on perfecting the alert and monitoring infrastructure. Our aim is to ensure that no tweet is missed based on customer criteria, and that the system maintains 99.999% uptime. We believe Twilert is the most robust and accurate self-service Twitter alerting system on the market.

In response to user demand, we have also introduced a free Old Tweets tool, enabling users to search, filter, and review old tweets in their accounts.

The Future of Social Listening with Twilert

Our plans for Twilert in the next year include but are not limited to:

  • Alert analytics to give insights into how your alerts trend
  • Heatmapping – see where alerts are heating up
  • Scheduling – schedule alerts for your own time ranges – track events when they happen
  • Integrations – beyond email, set your alerts to go to Slack, a text message, or 1,500+ other applications

In addition to the Twitter-specific features, we are exploring how to allow our advanced social media monitoring system to branch into other social media networks. This will allow anyone to create a custom listening crawler for any website!
